2003 Donor-Advised Fund Grants

Partnering with Horizons through donor-advised and other named funds serves the philanthropic goals of individuals and organizations. Donors often make a gift of appreciated stock or other asset and receive a tax deduction in that year, and then spread out their giving over a longer period of time. Horizons funds also offer pooled investments, a single IRS charitable giving letter, quarterly financial statements, and check-writing for the donor's annual charitable giving. Most importantly, we bring our unique expertise and vision to helping donors make the greatest impact in the LGBT community.

For more information about establishing a fund at Horizons, please contact Deb Stallings, Director of Development and Gift Planning, at 415.398.2333 x103 or dstallings@horizonsfoundation.org.
